Steam Powered Frisbee 🥏<p>In 2008, a pile of old junk was found under floorboards in an Austrian castle. VERY old junk - from the 1400s. It included several pieces of linen, which unlike wool or silk, usually decays quickly.</p><p>More specifically they found women's underwear, which is virtually never mentioned in surviving medieval texts. The discovery pushed back the invention of the bra by *several hundred years*. It's very modern looking. </p><p>The US patent for bras only goes back to 1914. At the earliest something like modern bras were thought to be worn in France in the late 1700s.</p><p><a href="https://newsonhistory.blogspot.com/2013/06/discovery-of-600-year-old-lingerie_30.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newsonhistory.blogspot.com/201</span><span class="invisible">3/06/discovery-of-600-year-old-lingerie_30.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/culturalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>culturalhistory</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/textilehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>textilehistory</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/bras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bras</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/lingerie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lingerie</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/womenshistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>womenshistory</span></a></p>
